How to guides

A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.

There are a number of different options to create the necessary flat and level surface, and we're going to take you through four of them. All are ideal to prevent water collecting around the shed floor and damaging it. These four methods are how to lay:

a timber base (also known as a portabase)

a plastic base

a paved base, and

a concrete base

Both paved and concrete bases can't be laid straight onto soft ground and so require a sub-base. A concrete base also has a further extra step - constructing the frame or edging that supports concrete while it sets, this is known as formwork. So do bear in mind that these options can take longer to build than the timber and plastic bases.

Simply choose the one for you and read through the step-by-step advice on how to lay your shed base.

Buying guides

The garden shed - a firm favourite in British gardens. Sheds are brilliantly versatile. Use as a tool shed to protect equipment and tools; as a potting shed to plant up pots and grow seeds; or as an extra room for quiet relaxation. They offer great storage space for bulky items like garden furniture and bicycles and can be your hobby hide-out when there’s no more space in the house.

But finding the right shed for your needs can seem tricky. That's where we can help. Our guide is here to help you choose the best shed for you and your outdoor space.

Great shedThis is a great shed. Paid for the erecting of it as well. Would give 100% for the brilliant communication on arranging the delivery date and info provided by the member of staff. She was really helpful, kept me up to date at all times and was very pleasant and friendly....thank you "V". Excellent job by the fitters too. Thank you all.

Really looks goodI bought the shed, I was contacted in a couple of days and given a date when the operatives would come and fit the shed together.
They have done a marvellous job, it is an excellent product.

Ideal productI bought this last week and it is perfect for my needs. The one gripe I have is the shed base is not raised from the ground to allow the rain water to flow through. I guess I'll have to slide some battens under the base myself.
